[1302 Chisholm Street, Bronx, c. 1939–1941. From the NYC Municipal Archives Collections. Click for a much larger view.]
Awnings, balusters, pickets. Found, like so many things, while looking for something else. The house still stands, minus the awnings, balusters, and pickets. Just spindly spindles.

for some reason, many homes on the block seems to favor striped awnings
Good find. I noticed the one awning on the house next door but didn’t look further.
those stripes seem to be referred to as "hollywood awnings" in the brooklyn newstand ads of the era
